MEG & ANDY+

September 2005

Okay, I'm 30 weeks pregnant with a very active little boy. I'm healthy and very happy! At this time my "baby-daddy," Andy and I are living in Apple Valley with my brother, Toph, and his good friend, Joe, and Joe's puppy, Mija.
I take care of the homefront, most days, when I'm not sneaking over to surprise Andy on his lunch break or attending one of my Ma's Positive Parenting classes, which are held in Victorville on Fridays at 9:30 am and in Apple Valley on Tuesdays at 11 am. They are really great classes to bring your entire family to.

Andy loved to join me but can't now that he has gone back to work for Apex in Hesperia. He is working hard, six days a week, as the head Forman to get the yard back in order. Although, I miss him, I can see that he is happy to be working again, since he broke his foot and has been out of work since last December. He is most excited about being a dad and takes great care of me, which makes it so very easy to love him!

Andy's family is not only looking forward to our new arrival but his little sister, Sara is due to have a girl a few weeks after me. She has a hansome little 1 and half year old, named Aden, who runs their household and loves his Uncle Nee. They live with Andy's mom, Donna, and her husband, Dave.
Andy has an older brother, Josh, who lives in Colorado with his girlfriend, Jean and her family. He also has another older brother whom we met only a year ago named Bob. Bob is a cool cat who fits right into this family. Andy's Dad lives in La Puente. He is a great person who can't wait to be a Grandad. Last week he took Andy to see the Eagles in concert and they had a great time.

My Dad lives in Bryan, Texas with his wife Rosa Lina, her daughters Erica and Natalie, and their dogs Ozzy and Dre. For the past few days they all have been getting ready for hurrican Rita to hit. Stay safe, dad.
Today I talked to my dad and the storm went south from them. They hardly got any rain, just some wind.

Oct. 10, 2005 Baby Girl

We have the house to ourselves! Toph and Joe moved out earlier and with more additude than expected. We are now able to start on much-needed home improvements and getting Paxton's room ready for him. Being at the house by myself all day was making Drew uncomfortable because I started talking to myself more than normal, so a few days ago he came home with a pup named Girl for me to talk to. Her personality allows her fit right into our family. I am so happy with her. She is huge for only eight months old. The family that she lived with before has two little boys, 4 months and 4 years old and she was awesome with them; very loving. She seems to be very happy with us, she and I are attached at the hip until Drew gets home then we both want his attention...He loves it.

October 28, 2005 WATER WORKS

Today Baby Girl decided to play tug-o-war with the hose and needless to say she won. She broke the PVC pipe that came out of the ground and when I got home there was a lake in the front yard. She got into big trouble, but it is so hard to stay mad at her with those sad eyes.

Noveber 9, 2005 ADEN MACKLIN

Today Aden came over for a few hours while his mom was at the hospital after getting into a car accident. He loves to play with Uncle Nee in our front yard. I got some great pictures of that sweet little boy. He ran around the tree to play peek-a-boo and laid in the grass and leaves. Drew gets so warn out but never stops going when his nephew is here. They are the cutest together, always laughing and talking, they can't get enough of each other. Drew has been around Aden since the day he was born and knew right away that he wanted one of his own someday. Although, Aden will always be his first little man.
